You'll need to do some digging to see what is going wrong. This is what
I did with texinfo-3.12 when I did the initial build (I'm using the
original B20.1 Cygwin1 DLL on an NT 4.0SP3 machine):
$ tar zxvf texinfo-3.12.tar.gz
$ mkdir texinfo-3.12/BUILD
$ cd texinfo-3.12/BUILD
$ ../configure --prefix=/Cygnus/cygwin-b20 \
--exec-prefix=/Cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32 -v i586-cygwin32
$ make CC="gcc -I/usr/local/include"
my /usr/local/include contains all sorts of stuff like termcap, ncurses,
zlib, etc. I believe I have most of what Andy Piper distributes.
This is all from memory, but it's simple enough that it's a safe bet that
I haven't forgotten too much.
In your case, why don't you just tell make to ignore errors and go
forward? ie.,
$ make -i
and see what happens?

I remember getting errors like that and I managed to
get to work by converting the .texi files from dos to unix
using trans. I can't remember where I got trans.exe but when
I run it, it returns this info:
trans.exe 7.8 - (c) Kai Uwe Rommel - Feb 01 1994
Hope this helps,
Kevin

I found that when converting multiple files, trans would crash.

I don't know if this is the cause of your specific problem, but I
found it necessary to do two extra things before I could build texinfo
successfully:
1. Delete or rename the "makinfo.exe" supplied with cygwin. This
is written as a no-op.
2. Replace cygwin's "install.exe" with one that works on *.exe
files. I found one at
< ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/install-cygwin-b20-sh >
